Interview: David Newman, Chairman of The George Daniels Trust - Part I

David Newman was one of George Daniels’ oldest friends, having met the late watchmaker half a century ago. They shared a bond born out of a common love for watches, clocks and fast cars – Mr Newman is 78 but drives a Porsche 911.

After Hours: Part 2 - The Art of Erotica

Original Sin An erotic watch is, in several ways, the 18th-century equivalent of pornography in your smartphone.
